Did you happen to stop in today and you are not sure why? Are you sitting in the pew each Sunday and intrigued by the Catholic Faith? Have you been coming with your family for years and need a safe place to ask questions? Are you one of the many Catholics who didn’t finish their initiation sacraments and still need to receive Eucharist or be Confirmed? Are you marrying or married to a Catholic and you just want to understand Catholicism better? We have an opportunity for you, to journey in faith with us, as we share together the richness of a relationship with Christ within the heart of the Catholic Church. We invite you to come and learn more about Christ and what the Church teaches and spend time with some of our faithful parish members. These sessions are a place to ask the difficult questions you may have about the Catholic Church. These gatherings are for everyone (those unbaptized, those who were baptized Christian from other denominations and Catholics in need of Eucharist and/or Confirmation).

The servant leadership model creates a structure that allows for greater participation and development of a more informed leadership. It creates a synergistic environment for growth for all participants. It creates the opportunity for all parish leaders to pray together for the people of St. John’s and the opportunity for more persons to become involved and become active in other St. John’s ministries.

This process is supported by the design of the monthly meeting format that incorporates prayer and sharing of a simple meal before the Commissions meetings and Pastoral Leadership Council meeting. The Commissions and the Pastoral Leadership Council work in partnership with staff to develop the vision, policies and programs that support the Parish mission.
